Semifinals: Top 20 Results

I was off escorting my sister to a bus to Canada, so I missed seeing the results live, but I'm watching the recording now. (This'll probably happen again next week, when she returns.)

Let's see what happened...

Simon says that, on watching the show, he found that some of the performances were way worse than they'd seemed in person. He doesn't specify which.

The top 20 perform "I Got a Feeling" (Black Eyed Peas).

Tim is safe.
Todrick is asked to hang on.
Michael is safe.
Casey is safe.
In this row, we're down to Todrick and John; one's going home.
(Come on, this shouldn't even be close.)
John's going home!
He reprises "Gravity," which did indeed drag him down. And I'm gonna just fast-forward, because I can!

Lee is safe.
Aaron is safe.
Alex is safe.
Down to Jermaine and Andrew.
The person who is safe is... Andrew.
Sorry, Jermaine; guess God doesn't want you to stay after all.

(Oh, shut up, Jermaine.)

Danny Gokey sings his new single, "My Best Days Are Ahead of Me."

On to the girls!

Lilly is safe.
Paige is safe.
Katie is safe.
Down to Didi and Michelle. (I could see either going.)
Kara says that, based on watching it again on TV, Michelle may be in jeopardy.
She's right. Didi's safe; Michelle goes home.

Katelyn is safe.
Crystal Bowersox is safe.
Siobhan is safe.
Down to Haeley and Lacey. (I've predicted Haeley's going. But Lacey's not implausible.)
Simon thinks it's obvious to everybody who's going home, but doesn't actually specify who.
But, yup, it's Haeley going home.

Next week, the final round of semifinals before we get to the main event!
